One more word about getting new tires. Make sure to check inflation pressure. At a tire dealership when replacing a 15 inch tire, I assumed that they had inflated the tire to 65 psi its max rating. Wrong. They had to change air hoses around to get a compressor that could go that high. The guy in the shop actually asked why I would want that much air in a tire. I think he was used to inflating tires in passenger cars that often have a recommended inflation pressure of 30 to 35 psi. Don't assume like I almost did that the tire guy read your mind about the pressure needed. It is much easier for the tire store to inflate the tire to 65 psi than to find a gas station able to do it later.
